Whitening gel lightens natural teeth. Existing fillings, crowns and veneers keep their colour, so discuss how they might look afterwards.
Home teeth whiteningHow do bonding and veneers differ?
Bonding builds up the tooth with composite resin. A veneer is a custom covering fixed over the front of the tooth. Ask what preparation either option would need.
VeneersCan I combine treatments?
Your dentist can discuss which changes are suitable and in what order to make them. For example, they may consider the timing of whitening before matching a new restoration.

Choosing a suitable option
Your dentist checks your teeth and gums and asks what matters to you. Tell them about any existing crowns, fillings or veneers. That can affect which treatment, or combination of treatments, would suit you.
